Gaming journalism is dead, it's been dead for years now. There's no real unbiased, agenda wielding, greased-palm review site out there unfortunately, just wish there was at least one that would be factually correct on game features even. But even that's asking too much.

Other "Reviewers" are here to protect the gamer though of course, standing up against the mighty king of sim games, who has put the genre on the map, for taking their sweet time building the most complete and feature packed game ever for just $60. Not to mention how many times it's obvious they revamped the physics model. Instead, they'd rather applaud developers who pump out sequel after sequel in a years time with updates so small you have to be beaten over the head to even notice them.
GT5 has it's flaws of course, some very glaring considering what we expected out of it, but the goods far and aways outweigh the bads, and the "highs" are on a totally different level than anything we had to date before. But the reviewers will attack the hell out of this game for obvious reason again. Unfortunately, said reviewers don't attack other games for having glaring issues, and they don't even wince when they're actually FACTUALLY wrong about a game and it's features in their review.

Another review by a sim racer. It's pretty harsh ... but for the most part, fair.

This. This is why I like this game so much.review said:With wheel in hand, GT5's handling stands head and shoulders above every other console sim, including Turn 10's fine effort. You can really feel the traction limit during a turn, and it's possible to nurse a car back from the brink of oversteer with some fine throttle feathering.

iam220 said:Yes exactly. bunch of cars + bunch of tracks + great physics is all I really wanted from a console sim. This game delivered just that.

I agree. I have not had this much fun with any racing game since GT1.nib95 said:Pretty much. And if you're using a wheel, weather + Nascar + Go-karting + Rally = all kinds of diverse fun. If it didn't have the variety of racing it'd be that touch more monotonous.

90% of racing games bore me to death after a few hours of play. Forza 3? Check. NFS Shift? Check. GT4? Check. GT5 Prologue? Check. GT5? Not at all. I'm craving to play it even as I type this post! D:
The driving model feels unmatched on consoles.
nib95 said:If it's not A-Spec it's Special Events, Licenses, B-Spec or a constant barrage of gifted cars. It's glorious. As long as you mix it up, there's never really any moment where there isn't something to do, even if you fancy something completely different each time.

The major problems that I had in my first hour with the game are the same major problems I have with it now:
- The online lobby system is dumb and antiquated. Who thought it was a good idea to let anyone in a game launch it?
- The AI is pretty substandard, generally unaffected by my presence on the track.
- The less said about the game's user interface, the better.
- It doesn't matter if the rain on the windshield reacts to acceleration and breaking when it looks so damn bad to begin with.
Also, if you want reviews to ignore the six year development cycle with all the hoping and anticipation that comes along with it, fine, let's be fair about it.
- The fact that there are 800 PS2-era standard cars in the game - with no cockpit view - is the absolute worst. I don't care how detailed the 200 premium car models in the game are in photo mode, or how much time it time it took to model them.
- The up-rezed tracks are lazy. The fact that many of the tracks contain two-dimensional trees in a new game in the Gran Turismo series on the PlayStation 3 platform is baffling.

well...I'm sure 5 or 6 months from now, GAF will probably more universally agree that GT5 is not the polished product it should have been.
